Was Wichtig Ist
Udo Jürgens
What Is Important
What is important is not what you call it
Not what you are and who you know
I know the rules, I master the game
But all this knowledge is of little use
I only know today what is really important
What is important is not what you have
Not whether your life suits other people
I have not shied away from any dream
But I have not regretted anything
I only know today what is really important
I wanted more whatever it was
No star was too far for me
Now I stand there and feel very clear
All this is worthless without you
I thought it was important to be free
I thought I was happy alone
And yet since I lost you
My life as a mistake before
I only know today what is really important
What is important is often understood too late
Because you don't understand it with your mind
I don't know if I'll win you back
I just know deep down inside
Whatever I think or do
What is important
What is really important
That's you
